I think that in this scenario with both team playing in front of a big time TV and national audience, I am expecting the first parts of the game to be sloppy and tight. Not comfortable with any of the betting lines right now. Too much unknown.
Prize Picks has more college player props than most regular sportsbooks.
Their O/U on points:
Oweh 13
Robinson 12
Carr 10.5
Brea 10.5
Butler 8.5
Flagg 17.5
Knueppel 15.5
There's also props for rebounds, assists, points/rebounds/assists and 3-pointers made. You have to play at least 2 props per bet. I used the app for NBA props last year and did OK. They tend to have higher prop totals than the sportsbooks since Overs are more popular. I've used DraftKings for NBA props this year and have been doing much better, so figured I'd throw $100 back into the PP account for college props. But there's so many unknowns tonight I probably won't bet anything. Robinson at 12 points looks good though.

I have no idea what to expect tonight. I wouldn't be surprised with any outcome - a small UK win, UK wins big or Duke wins.
Our guys have experience, leadership and toughness, Duke has more talent. If we contain Flagg and Kneuppel (limit them to 25 points combined) and make 10+ threes then I think UK wins.

I have the same mindset I had for 89-90, Pitino's first year. There's a big change of atmosphere and it seems a cloud has lifted. Anything above .500 is good this year. If Pope wins 20 games he should get coach of the year, considering he had no returning players and the tough schedule Kentucky plays. The way they have played in the preseason and first 2 games has raised our expectations somewhat but all things considered I'm tempering my prediction for this year. He's shown he can recruit well with the class he has coming in next year. Let's just enjoy this year because truly there's not much pressure this year. Let's not get caught up in draft projections or how many stars are attached to a recruit. We have a coach and staff that can flat out coach so they will get the most out of the players.
That's just the usual Mich St. Izzo love fest influence.
